Hello, we are in contact with France Telecom to make them know more about DECmcc. They are very interested and we are already working on a project to have DECmcc interoperate with their current Management offering (based on Accumaster), known as GEOS INTEGRATEUR. This will be based on OSI/NMF Conformant Management Entity. In paralell with that they appear to be interested with the Mangement of LANs. My question is : are we able to manage LANs based on Netware, Lan Manager,...via the SNMP AM ? Does it exist any internal literature on the subject, plans, work in progress ? Any information about it will be greatly welcome and appreciated. Thank's in advance, JJ

This would define a *minimal* level of manageability. To my knowledge, none of the "interesting" (read useful) features of Netware are SNMP manageable... Chris Brienen | |||||
| 1996.2 | Novell commitment to SNMP is suspect | TOOK::MATTHEWS | Thu Jan 02 1992 12:49 | 22 | |
Novell has an SNMP agent for Netware 386 ONLY. They have recently
announced their own management system for Novell Lans which is
based upon their proprietary IPX protocols. I suspect that
their SNMP stuff is a subset of their IPX stuff and from what
we saw in Interop_91 you had to manage via their management
system if you used SNMP. This is similar to what SUN is doing.
So, regrettably, there isn't much we can offer France Telecom
for Netware today.
Please do some research for us. See how important this is for
France Telecom. We developed a Novell AM prototype using IPX
a year ago as part of a bid for Telecom Australia. We also
have some negotiations underway for a Netware AM with a
third party developer. If it is critical for the success of
a major sale, we could do a joint development with a local
EIS group to produce a Netware AM using IPX. I don't think
it is a major project. The existing prototype took only a
month to create. I doubt that a polished product would take
more than a few months.
